CHAMELON EXISTENCE

Umpteen are his incarnations
umpteen are his manifestations
one day he is an angry
young man out to reduce
his enemies to pulp.
The next day an entirely
different man
a calm and composd
middle-aged man.
He evolves into a romantic
hero,
like Don Juan, one day
running and dancing with
a blonde or several blondes
along beaches, parks, or
running, singing and dancing
around trees to the merriment
of the audience.
The romantic hero of one
day turns into a villain
engaging in rape, sex and
stunts and
in the end getting badly
mauled by the hero.
The villain of that day
evolves into a
comedian
forcing others
to laugh their hearts
out, biting dust.
His manifestations
are many
and all invite the
applause of a
vast audience.
He is all in one
and is like a
chamelon changing
colours
adjusting with
acclimatizing with
changing surroundings.
He is basically one
and the same,
but he has to
don umpteen roles
in the tinsel world
since it is the
nature of his duty
part of his profession.
